I look forward to representing Europe's seaports in Brussels. Ports are more than a business sector, they seek to combine economic and public interests.

A very close collaboration with industry and policy stakeholders will be a critical success factor to achieve sustainable project outputs. The PORTOPIA knowledge platform should strengthen the long-term relationships between stakeholders.
